Aizawl, Jul 5 : Opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) youth workers on Wednesday distributed bags of charcoal in the streets of Aizawl in protest against the prolonged scarcity of cooking gas in the state.

A number of fuel-starved people received the charcoal as MNF youth workers distributed it from the Millennium Centre to the MNF party office calling the charcoal bag 'Hawla Gas' after the state chief minister Lal Thanhawla.

The Congress government could not deliver the goods including commodities most essential to the people in their daily lives," MNF sources said.
